   The issue your having with the images is when you click on the share button you need to select the “Grab the HTML Code” section and copy and paste all of the code in that field that open up.

   Yup, Meadows and More has it right – that’s Indian pink, Spigelia marilandica. I think it’s one of the prettiest wildflowers. It’s not native to New Jersey. But it grows as far north as Indiana so I assume it would grow here. I’ve seen it in South Carolina and northern Florida. It’s in the same plant family (Loganiaceae) as yellow jessamine. And like that species it contains some toxic alkaloids, accoring to the Gleason & Cronquist manual.
